  1. My guess is that if Fukudome just missed it, he'll be among those you can vote for to get the last spot. Good call, I forgot about that. What hints during today's game were there?
  2. Damn right I am. I'm gonna eat some dinner then head down there. I REALLY hope Jimmy has a nice game tonight.
  3. Z's only going to throw 85-90 pitches. I hope he can at least make it through 6, then turn it over to the pen with a lead.
  4. Aram needs to get out of this funk. 0 for his last 21 now.
  5. Because they're usually wrong and he starts a ton of them? Explain how he is wrong? Read rest of thread? As of yesterday: Jon already mentioned after the fact that the last 18 games stat is overall, not with 2 strikes. Kosuke has been striking out more lately, hardcorecubfan is right.
  6. You'd rather have a guy who has a lower BA, lower OBP, lower SLG, fewer walks and more K's than Theriot? Ryan Theriot is having a fine year, no SS in baseball has a higher OBP than he does. He's incredibly cheap too. Thinking of who we could get to replace him is just a big waste of time.
  7. All things considered, I'll take a split in this series. We won the two games we should've won. Let's just hope the Mets hang on.
  8. Marmol seems to be more effective in these situations than when he comes in to start an inning. How about a K followed by a ground ball.
  9. Why Ascanio over Marmol here? Perfect timing to say that, as he makes a terribly stupid play on that bunt. Good Lord.
  10. Yes, moving a guy from 2nd to 3rd with 2 outs is always crucial. Who said it was crucial? I said at least he did that in his at bat, which is better than NOT moving him over.
  11. Well, at least he got him over. Get him in, Lee.
  12. Another great at bat by Kosuke. He's got to lead the league in foul balls.
  13. I'm so glad Lincecum is out, for two reasons. One, because he's really good. Two, because he looks like a junkie and I'm tired of watching a junkie pitch. There you go, Murt!
  14. Glad to see Aramis and Reed back in the lineup.
  15. No, I'm not interested in downgrading at SS.
  16. I love Wikipedia: Kerry Wood has gotten a 2-strike count on an opposing batter in 79 ABs this season. In those ABs, he has allowed 2 singles, 1 double, 3 walks, 1 HBP, and 1 SF. That's a 0.084 OBP. With 49 strikeouts, batters have been 7x more likely to strike out when they get to 2 strikes than they are to reach base. For comparison, Marmol has only been 3.89x more likely to strike them out with 2 strikes. Only?
  17. Aramis probably isn't going this year. Based on their numbers right now, I can't see him being chosen over Wright and there are usually just two 3B on the rosters. Of course, if he has a great next few games then he could have a shot.
  18. Absolutely. The Cubs are in a great position to win it all this year. Adding one of the best pitchers in baseball to this rotation would make it even more likely.
  19. These announcers are awesome! "Bring your glove and put your tie on, whoo whoo!"
  20. Right-handers have killed Correia this year, and Murton's also the best defensive outfielder the Cubs have on the bench at the moment. It's probably a good move. I'm behind it all the way, I was just a little surprised to see him in there.
  21. Go vote! I agree with Mizzou. I had chemotherapy this week and feel like crap but I don't care I'm going to do whatever i can to get Fukudome in. 200 votes and counting. Hope you get to feeling better! Half my office is off today and tomorrow so I spent a solid hour today casting votes with their email addresses. It's gonna be a shame if Brewers fans outvote Cubs fans on this.
  22. Vote for Fukudome! Go vote!
